<a name="DESCRIPTION"></a><h2 class="nroffsh">DESCRIPTION</h2>
<p class="level0">Tells libcurl you want a multipart/formdata HTTP POST to be made and you instruct what data to pass on to the server in the <span Class="emphasis">formpost</span> argument. Pass a pointer to a linked list of curl_httppost structs as parameter.  The easiest way to create such a list, is to use <span Class="emphasis">curl_formadd(3)</span> as documented. The data in this list must remain intact until you close this curl handle again with <span Class="emphasis">curl_easy_cleanup(3)</span>. 
<p class="level0">Using POST with HTTP 1.1 implies the use of a "Expect: 100-continue" header. You can disable this header with <a Class="emphasis" href="./CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER.html">CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER</a>. 
<p class="level0">When setting <a Class="emphasis" href="./CURLOPT_HTTPPOST.html">CURLOPT_HTTPPOST</a>, it will automatically set <a Class="emphasis" href="./CURLOPT_NOBODY.html">CURLOPT_NOBODY</a> to 0. <a name="DEFAULT"></a><h2 class="nroffsh">DEFAULT</h2>
